Deauthenticate XBOX 360 Controller?

Hello all,

I am fairly new to the Linux/Backtrack Scene. I have used it mainly for the wireless pen testing capabilities. So far, I haven't messed around with bluetooth, but plan on doing that soon. Anyways, I was wondering (while on the subject of wireless), is there any way to eavesdrop traffic or deauthenticate an xbox controller. From what I've read, they operate on the 2.4 ghz band and I know there are ways to snoop traffic on a wireless keyboard (I will be trying that out soon too). I can successfully deauth my xbox from my router, but am wondering if I could kick my controller off of my xbox. Is this even possible, or is there some microsoft proprietary protocol being used that airmon/kismet is unaware of?

Well you can kick of your xbox from your router because its using a wifi standard. I do not know much about the controller however the odds of it using one of the wifi standers is pretty much none. So your not going to be able to use a deauth attack. However you could always try jamming the frequency if you were that serious about it.
